Hello. I wanted to ask whether can i switch rtl8821ce modem to intel ax210. I worry, because there's only one cable in my laptop ( https://ibb.co/5L9LkqW) and 2 ports in intel ax210 ( https://ibb.co/4KR2LKY).

Thanks for answers in advance.

Hi:

 

Any other wifi card but that one won't work correctly with only one antenna.

 

The AX210 wifi might work to some extent if you connect the single antenna to the wifi card's Main antenna terminal, but the Bluetooth won't work due to lack of the second antenna for reception.

 

The wifi signal may not be as good as it would with two antenna wires, since there would be no antenna diversity.

If i buy another antenna, can it solve the problem?

If you want to go through all the trouble to add a second antenna wire, that should work.

 

To route the antenna wire properly would require ordering the antenna kit listed in the service manual, disassembling the entire notebook including the display panel area to install the antenna and transceiver.  The transceiver mounts inside the display bezel.

Or you could just jury-rig your own setup and hope for the best.
